    Can I do winged eyeliner like this if I use the tape method?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Use the tape to make a wing, then use an angeled brush to pick up the eyeshadow and use it like you would with eyeliner. It helps if you wet the brush a little and the shadow is pigmented. You can always clean up the wing line with concealer.

    Can I use lotion while mixing the eye shadows, instead of using primer?
    Community Answer
    The best way to go is primer, but the second best option is to use petroleum jelly or lip balm. It works really well.
  • Question
    I mixed primer with eye shadow to make matte lipstick. Can I do the same kind of mixture instead of water for the eyeliner, as it comes out more pigmented?
    Community Answer
    You could if you used an eye shadow primer, as it's gentler and safer for the eyes.
  • Question
    Can I use a colored pencil instead of a brush?
    Community Answer
    Yes. But don't use colored pencils as everyday makeup. Use them only when you don't have eyeliner. Tip: Soften the lead of your colour pencils by soaking the lead in warm water for about 5-8 minutes so your colored pencils will be smooth when you apply them to your eyelids.

    Take an angled brush and apply it as eyeliner. If you're going to be using a shimmery shadow, dampen the brush with water or setting spray.
